Short-term efficacy of tacrolimus in steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis - experience in 130 patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A short-term course of pegylated-interferon (Peg-IFN), or a long-term treatment with a third generation nucleot(s)ide analogue (NUC), of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection achieves viral suppression and may prevent disease progression. Owing to different mechanisms of action of the two regimens, a Peg-IFN a...
